Based largely on the R26, in 1960 the R27 added rubber mounts for the engine and boosted power. The engine pumped out 18hp, the highest ever for a shaft-drive BMW single. BMW manufactured 15,364 R27 models over the production years of 1960 to 1966. BMW did things differently from other manufacturers. This is evident in the R27. Its enclosed shaft final drive is rare for a single-cylinder motorcycle. But it also had a triangulated Earles front fork (named after English designer Ernest Earles).

This 1964 model year BMW R27 was purchased as a complete machine needing little work. The late vendor decided it would make a very presentable machine if restored to a high standard. It was entrusted to a specialist for restoration at great expense and many of the original parts were retained and refurbished during the restoration. Since its completion, it has not been used due, sadly, to the vendor passing. Turned over regularly and kept well, this BMW will need very light recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5 and the old Cypriot log book.
